See Why This Guy Dressed Up As A Nerd On A College Campus. And What Happened As A Result.

It was the first day of school at The University of Arizona and this YouTube prankster wanted to see what would happen if he dressed up as a (very stereotypical) nerd and went around trying to make friends, seeing if people would really be as mean to him as we are often led to believe.

Watch as his nerd character, Ernie, steps out of his shell and walks around campus making some new friends, the end result is surprisingly heartwarming:

Eat your heart of Revenge of the Nerds! People had no problem being nice and friendly to him, and didn’t let his social awkwardness get in the way. The rest of the semester should be no problem for Ernie, even more so with the ladies, apparently.
